For the final component of my turkey dinner I wanted something green. I had recently realized that I had not done anything with brussels sprouts so far this season and I had been wanting to do something with them. While searching for brussels sprouts recipes I came across this one for a brussels sprout gratin which sounded really good. How can you go wrong with smothering vegetables in cream and cheese? Even better, the brussels sprouts were roasted first to bring out their flavour. I had been hoping to find a texmex take on brussels sprouts but once I came across the roasted brussels sprouts gratin I just couldn't get them out of my head and they went into the dinner anyways. The gratin was pretty simple to make and turned out great! The panko bread crumbs and gruyere formed a nice crunchy and cheesy golden brown layer on top and the creamy roasted brussels sprouts underneath were so good!! Despite the fact that the rest of the meal was really good, it was these brussels sprouts that stole the show and I reached for seconds of them before anything else.

Directions:
1. Toss the brussels sprouts in the oil, salt and pepper.
2. Place the brussels sprouts in a 13 by 9 inch baking pan in a single layer.
3. Roast the brussels sprouts in a preheated 425F oven until tender, about 20-30 minutes.
4. Pour the cream over the brussels sprouts and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
5. Mix the butter, bread crumbs and cheese and sprinkle on top of the brussels sprouts.
6. Broil until golden brown on top, about 3-5 minutes.

Not that I needed help eating brussels sprouts before, but this makes them look even more delicious.. like you said how can you go wrong smothering in cheese ad cream... I bet the pickiest eater might find want to try this.

I love brussels sprouts but I don't cook them very often...my hubby and kids do not like them. I might have to try this to change their minds...after all it does have cheese and who doesn't like cheese? Thanks for sharing!

We made this recipe for our Christmas dinner, My wife and I love brussels sprouts sauteed in oil and butter and then steamed a bit. The kids - not so much. EVERYONE raved about this dish. We are getting ready to make it again tonight for our Valentine's Day dinner and for our 16-year-old son and his girlfriend as well. You definitely oughta try this one!
